Abstract

A febre tifóide é uma infecção bacteriana causada pela bactéria gram-negativa Salmonella enterica subespécie Serovar typhi, transmitida principalmente por água ou alimentos contaminados. A falta de acesso à água potável e ao saneamento adequado em áreas com más condições de higiene é um factor determinante para a propagação da doença, tornando-a mais prevalente nos países em desenvolvimento. A prevenção é essencial para controlar a febre tifóide e medidas como a vacinação, a melhoria das condições sanitárias e as campanhas de sensibilização sobre higiene pessoal e segurança alimentar são fundamentais para reduzir a sua incidência. O tratamento adequado com antibióticos é crucial para evitar complicações graves. A resistência aos antibióticos tornou-se um desafio crescente no tratamento da febre tifóide, destacando a necessidade de investigação e estratégias alternativas. Esta revisão tem como objetivo fornecer informações sobre a epidemiologia, diagnóstico da febre tifóide e uma atualização sobre novos medicamentos utilizados para prevenir a febre tifóide nos países em desenvolvimento.
